I wrote a little perl module which can boot up a uml, log in to it, run
commands, and shut it down.
This is the guts of the little demo:
my $uml = UML->new(arguments => $args);
$uml->boot();
$uml->command('ls -al');
$uml->halt();
You can get it by grabbing tools/test from CVS or from the project download
page. Read the README and all will become clear...
